Saints vs Eagles, Week 3 Preview: Can the NFL’s Best Offense Keep it Rolling?

The New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles meet this week in a matchup of two teams heading in very different directions, so who comes out ahead? On the latest episode of the Audacy original podcast Inside Black & Gold, Saints sideline reporter Jeff Nowak and WWL sports director Steve Geller break down the latest news heading into the Week 3 showdown, we hear from Eagles insider Eliot Shorr-Parks on what Philly is bringing to the game, then break down the X-factors (keep running the dang ball) in this jam-packed preview edition of IB&G.

00:00 - Segment 1: The Rundown: Saints’ 2024 Season Has Been (mostly) Quiet. That’s a Good Thing
... The 2024 New Orleans Saints season has been kind of boring, at least from the news perspective, and that’s a good thing (even if it makes the podcast a bit more difficult to fill). The Saints’ offense has been the best in football has won over ALMOST the entirety of the media spectrum (more on that in a bit). Jeff & Steve kick off today’s episode by diving into the key injuries to watch, Klint Kubiak’s non-personality-driven approach, why the OL plan worked so well last week and a lot more. Then we’ll hear from the Nick Wright bad take complex for insight from one of the few voices still talking down on Dennis Allen, Derek Carr and the Saints (stay humble, y’all).

27:50 - Segment 2: Eagles Insider Breaks Down What Saints Should Expect in Week 3 Showdown
... Dating back to the end of the 2023 season the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles are a tale of two teams heading in opposite directions. Does either narrative change in Week 3? Jeff Nowak is joined in this segment by Eliot Shorr-Parks, Eagles reporter for WIP Sports Radio and also host of the Go Birds podcast to break down what to expect from the Eagles, how being without A.J. Brown changes things on offense and a lot more ahead of this weeks’ showdown at the Caesars Superdome.

47:10 - Segment 3: Picking X-Factors for Saints-Eagles: Has Defense Finally Figured Out Mobile QBs?
... The New Orleans Saints have a familiar challenge ahead of them in Week 3: Slowing down Jalen Hurts. One of this week’s X-factors is whether they’ve finally got a plan to stop mobile QBs, and will Willie Gay and Chase Young be a game-changer? Steve and Jeff also talk Zack Baun, Chris Olave and a dedication to the run game as they close out the show. Cry Eagles Cry?
